What You'll Learn
- ✓ NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token — a unique digital asset on a blockchain that cannot be replicated.
- ✓ Unlike Bitcoin (fungible — every BTC is identical), each NFT is one-of-a-kind.
- ✓ NFTs prove digital ownership and scarcity, solving a problem that didn't exist before blockchain.
- ✓ The NFT market peaked in 2021 at $25 billion in volume; the market has matured significantly since.
- ✓ NFTs have applications beyond art: gaming, tickets, music rights, real estate, and identity.
- ✓ Web3 is the vision of a decentralized internet where users own their data and digital assets.
- ✓ Web1 was read-only; Web2 is read-write (social media); Web3 is read-write-own.
- ✓ Key Web3 technologies: blockchain, smart contracts, decentralized storage, and self-sovereign identity.
